The term "grommet" has become famous thanks to the sailing business. This is a hole in the sail for threading the elements of the rigging, reinforced with a metal ring. At this time, eyelets are used quite widely. In addition to the practical, the grommet can also have a decorative value. For example, serve as a decoration for textiles.
It is necessary
Cloth, pencil or chalk, needle, scissors
Instructions
Step 1
There are eyelets that can be installed without special tools at home. Choose the color that best suits your item. Also decide on the size and number of eyelets.
Step 2
The grommet consists of two parts - rings. Disconnect them. Please note that on the inner parts of the rings there are fastening parts that close together when connected.
Step 3
On the fabric, on the front side, make a mark where you intend to attach the eyelet. To do this, draw a cross with a pencil or chalk, the center point of which will be the center of the eyelet circle.
Step 4
Insert a needle at the intersection point and pierce the entire thickness of the material with it, thereby you get a marking on the seamy side. Flip the garment over with the wrong side up. Take out the needle, and mark the puncture site with a pencil.
Step 5
Place one “half” of the eyelet on the garment. Holding the part with your hand, draw out the inner diameter of the ring with a pencil. Mark the outer diameter with light strokes so that later they are not noticeable.
Step 6
Draw a middle circle between the two resulting circles. She will be the main one. Cut a small hole at the location marked with a cross. Carefully cut the fabric with sharp scissors along the base (middle) circle. Do not worry if the fabric is shaggy at the cut points, the eyelet rings will hide all the imperfections.
Step 7
Turn the product over to the other side. Place one of the eyelet rings under the fabric in the designated area, i.e. under the cut out circle. Take the second part of the eyelet and place it on the cut out circle so that the fastening parts match. Press down hard so that the fastening parts are tightly closed. Done - admire the result.
